Latest Sightings - 28th January - Mist and drizzle
What a difference a day makes. From freezing temperatures and sunshine yesterday to mild, misty and drizzly this morning.
One drake Green-winged Teal is on the Folly Pond, we are not sure if the other one from yesterday is still here or not as we can't see the Flood Ground at the moment.
Visitors had fantastic views of two Water Rail under the feeders in the Peter Scott Trail yesterday!
Todays high tide is at 12:36, 9.2m
